Expert Tips

For a fun presentation, serve the granita in unbreakable stemmed beverage glasses.

A granita is an ice dessert made of a combination of water, sugar and liquid flavoring. The texture will be grainier than a sorbet--very similar to a slush.

Very easy to make though the freezeing time wasn't as long for me as recipe says. Has a very good flavor and wonderful texture. I was very pleased with this recipe and my children liked it.
